A structured, skills-based art education for ages 6–16, taught by qualified, DBS-checked art teachers. Weekly term-time programmes, home-education classes, Arts Award accreditation and holiday art camps – including Halloween half term and our Christmas light-up canvas classes.
Every class follows a structured, skills-based curriculum taught by qualified art teachers in small groups. Children enrol into the same weekly class each term, so they settle into a group and build their skills progressively, term after term.
Drawing and mark-making, observation, colour mixing and colour theory, composition, mixed media and texture, and 3D and clay work. Teens go further with tone and chiaroscuro, perspective and proportion.
Each term explores different artists and art movements. Students learn about artists and creative careers, and practise research and visual analysis – looking closely at how other artists work and responding with ideas of their own.
Children develop ideas over time, reflect on their work and build a body of work. Teens produce portfolio-quality pieces ready for school submissions and useful for GCSE and A-Level interviews.
Rotating themed projects revisit core skills at a deeper level each term, and the optional Arts Award – Discover and Explore for ages 6–10, up to Bronze, Silver and Gold for ages 11–17 – gives formal recognition from Trinity College London.
We’re an official Arts Award Centre. Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification run by Trinity College London, completed alongside our weekly art classes – no exam and no pressure.
Who it’s for: home-educated children, our 6–10s classes, teens – and every child who completes all four days of a themed week at our Kids’ Art Camp can earn a FREE Discover Arts Award. Open to ages 6–17: ages 6–10 work towards Discover and Explore, and ages 11–17 can continue to Bronze, Silver and Gold.
